The Same Law for Both.

Whenever the young ladies refuse
all attentions from young men who
drink and secretly run after lewd wom-
en-, says the Wayne Cite n, the door
of society reform will be thrown wide
open. The foulest, profanest, tobscco-
saturated young reprobate seeks and is
the accepted company of pure and good
girls. Convince him that the young
woman to whom he is paying his atten-
tions either uses tobacco. liquors, or is
profane or vulgar in her language and
he will fly the track quicker than a
crazy race-horse. He demands moral
eleanness of his young lady associate
if his intentions are good, but offers
her nothing in return. And the worst
of it is that the young ladies and their
parents quietly ignore low morals in
young men, if they wear good clothes
and are adroit enough to be caught
only now and then indulging in social
impurities which would forever damn
a respectable young woman. When
ever the associations of the young are
based upon absolute equality of the
sexes in morals society will become

Feats OF Arabian Fanatics.

For those whose ravenous appetites
he was content to humor the most sim
gular repast was prepared. A plate
was brought in, covered with huge
jagged pieces of broken glass, as thick
as shattered soda water bottle. With
greedy chuckles and gurglings of de-
light one of the hungry ones dashed at
it, crammed handful into his mouth,
and crunched it up as though it were
some exquisite dainty, a fellow disciple
calmly stroking the exterior of his
throat, with intent, l suppose, to lubri-
cate the descent of the unwonted NOR
sells. A little child held up snake or
sand-worm by the tail, placing the head
between his teeth, and gulped it glee-
fully down. Several acolytes came in,
carrying big stem of the prickly pear,
or fco d'India, whose leaves are as
thick as one-inch plank, and are
armed with huge projecting thorns.
This was ambrosia to the starving
saints; they rushed at it with passion
ate emulation, tearing at the solid slabs
with their teeth, and gnawing and
munching the coarse fibers, regardless
of the thorns which pierced their
tongues and cheeks as they swallowed
them down.-Fortnightly ReuieU.

ROYAL Professions.

The London Baptist gives the prices
paid at different times for seats TO view
royal professions. In the time of
Edward 1. it was one-half cent; on the
accession of Richard III. it was two
cents. From the coronation of Henry
V. to that Of Henry VII it was four
cents; in that of Elizabeth ii was raised
TO twelve cents, and twerty-four cents
was paid for seat to view the corona
ton procession of James I. Sixty
cents was paid in the time of Charles
III. and Sl.20 in that of William III.
At the coronation Of George III. the
price had risen to so, and at that Of
George ~. people were astonished to
hear that from $25 to $50 was paid.
But at the recent procession $4,000
was paid for the windows of one
house.
